I am in the planning stage of making a couple quilts for my married daughters.
I'd like to put their last name on each quilt.
I considered using shadow trapunto for their names but was afraid the cotton batiste might not hold up well since it'll be a quilt that will be used constantly.
I've never done trapunto.
So then I considered applique but I wonder how well the edges will hold up?
I've only done applique once so I don't really have alot of experience with it.
The quilts will have lots of washings and dryings and kids rolling around on top etc.
What d'ya think?
Has anyone made both kinds and have "statistics" for me? :D
Thanks--
Karen
